Hi guys!!!
11 pages!! :laugh:
I'm so sorry for the delay. It took a bit to get our stuff back from Florida but everything is back and the inventory is redone. I decided to take this open time to learn a new database which is..just superior to the prior, not in aesthetics mind you but in terms of features.

and believe me, this isn't even scratching the base.
I did successfully import/export all of our customers from the original database and am working on getting the "new folks" from the new database. As i promised myself i would have you go guys through the torment before when the first transition took place.

As for the goodies I promised, this has also caused a delay. Because only one shipment out of Many had arrived last week. I felt really terrible about this let down and ashamed to come on or open the store because of it. Evidently there are the World University Games starting in Shenzhen very soon so Hong Kong is being more strict with large packages. I have all the necessary batteries for both the .308 Calibre and Project Chameleon en route via Fedex. LR and HV 510 atomizers, along with 2 new styles of the Stainless Fusion in 2.0 and 3.0, lower mg of Ry4 and revered tobacco only known by a handful coming via UPS. The 801's ugh, the powder coating maybe beautiful, but is also causing delays. I hope you guys understand that I need to wait for the Mini 801's to unleash the Calibre line as they are built specifically for them. Other 801 atomizers will absolutely not work.

The shipment that came in was guided by your input regarding the Clear cartomizers. We remastered them to the fullest, in terms of durability of body,fitting and batting. I have them both in DC (dual coil) and SC Single coil in Clear and Black and will work on the listings after this post.

Project named Chameleon should be totally done, well nearly. I have to find out where we stand tomorrow. I know we're going to need to have the exterior finished but the hardware should all be complete. Personally I'd rather not open the store at the moment, so I can focus on the completion of this project, in case we need to source other materials like o rings (which I think it's going to happen) , poor promise of goodies and also the preparation of the new database, but then again, I am a night owl :laugh: So without further adieu IKV is now open!

Welcome back :)

Something I found out many moons ago wrt to 801s, they are not created equal. HC 801s although they seen to fit (some of them) will strip your threads. First hand experience with these atties and the Chameleon, ruined the 801 adapter because of it. DSE 801 = thread to large they will not thread. The Calibre series is manufactured to the right specs wrt the proper threads. IKV atties fit the calibre, other atties may or may not. This manufacturer does not endorse the use of atties outside of the IKV line which have shown to be problematic. Every unit has been tested prior to leaving the shop, with the recommended accessories.

As you know I do not believe in proprietary anything hence why I went through the pain and great expense to find the proper taps & dies for 510, 801, 910 threads.

Isaac my very good friend don't be so hard on yourself buddy. You are great to all of us but in the end your still just human and are confined to those parameters. Things happen and when they do there's nothing anyone can do about it. It will be there and ready when it get's there and it still doesn't deviate from the fact that your the greatest vendor there is and the greatest guy there is. So "Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead."
